AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Presentation by Sid Clarke concerning new county jail.
Mr. Sid Clarke, chairman of the Pottawatomie County Jail Advisory Committee, updated the Commission on the proposed county jail complex.
The committee was formed over a year ago to examine ways to solve the jail problem, which does not meet state standards, and could be closed by the State Health Department.
Mr. Clarke stated that the committee called upon various agencies such as the Oklahoma Sheriffs Association, Police Chiefs Association, and the American Indian Institute, to get their input about developing a strategic plan for a county jail that could house the city and tribal departments as well.
He reported that a public trust was being formed to oversee the jail facility and those who had already agreed to serve as trustees were Larry Briggs, John Goodson, Randy Gilbert, and Clayton Eads.
Mr. Clarke added that a consultant, Mr. Rod Bottoms, was hired to assist in hiring an administrator to operate the proposed facility.
Mr. Clarke encouraged the Commission’s full support emphasizing that the concept of one jail for the County was a logical idea and the public would have more confidence in this whole project.
Concluding, he advised that financing and site location had not been addressed at this point nor had the size and design of the facility since historical data would need to be developed.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Presentation by Don Price regarding plans and specifications concerning multi-purpose building at Expo Center.
Mr. Don Price, the architect of The Price Group Architects & Planners, presented the site plans for the construction of the multi- purpose building at The Heart of the Oklahoma Exposition Center.
Mr. Price gave an overview of the first phase of the building and pointed out the advantages of utilizing the floor space with the installation of movable walls that would give flexibility on the size of the rooms.
Other areas he covered were the concession stands, kitchen area allowed for catering services, adequate restrooms, and the “big room” sufficient for seating up to 2,400 people and approximately 1,138 people in a banquet setting.
Concluding, Mr. Ken Etchieson, Expo Manager, advised that the plans had been modified from the original after consulting with education and business groups as well as the Expo patrons.
He stated that the plans would be taken back to the Civic and Cultural Development Authority for final approval.
